Apparently, the man who predicted Trump's assassination attempt, Brandon Biggs, is now predicting "mass casualties" among the "main Mormon base in Utah." I know he's not a prophet and the prediction is likely bogus. Still, it wouldn't hurt to stay vigilant and add requests for safety to your prayers.

I can't stop thinking about this shift from temple constructions. It feels very significant. What are your thoughts? ************************** "As of the April 2025 general conference, President Russell M. Nelson had announced the construction of 200 new temples. He loved to announce new temples at the conclusion of each general conference and we all rejoiced with him. However, with the large number of temples now in the very earliest phases of planning and construction, it is appropriate that we slow down the announcement of new temples. Therefore, with the approval of the quorum of the twelve apostles, we will not announce any new temples at this conference. We will now move forward in providing the ordinances of the temple to members of the church throughout the world, including when and where to announce the construction of new temples."

I believe President Oaks has had this shift in mind for some time. Here's a quote from May 2024. "It's a lot easier to build temples than it is to fill temples. By building a lot of temples, we are writing for ourself a requirement that we be more diligent in teaching the doctrine of the church, ... the temple covenants and worthiness, So that we'll be able to fill temples in all these places where we're building them, instead of just building them."

My song and video, "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty" is now live. Most people know the story of Joseph Smith’s First Vision from the official 1838 account found in the Pearl of Great Price. But did you know Joseph actually left four different firsthand accounts during his life? Each one was written to a different audience, and each contains unique details that most of us rarely hear. For my new song, "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty," I didn’t want to choose just one version. I wanted to weave them all together into a single, chronological experience. Here is the history hidden in the lyrics: The Physical Struggle (Verse 1) In the famous 1838 account, Joseph describes a "thick darkness." But in his 1835 journal entry, he adds visceral physical details: His tongue swelled in his mouth so he could not speak. He heard footsteps walking up behind him. Lyric: "Knelt upon the ground to pray, but my tongue began to swell / Footsteps walking up behind me..." The Angels (Verse 2) We usually picture just the Father and the Son. However, the 1835 account explicitly states, "I saw many angels in this vision." Lyric: "And a host of many angels, surrounding them in flame." The Forgiveness of Sins (Verse 2) The earliest account (1832) wasn't about starting a church—it was about Joseph’s soul. In this version, the Lord tells him immediately that his sins are forgiven. It’s a tender, personal moment often lost in the later institutional retellings. Lyric: "One looked down and called me Joseph, said 'My son, thy sins are gone.'" The "Exact" Resemblance (Verse 2) The 1842 Wentworth Letter adds a fascinating visual detail: the two Personages "exactly resembled each other in features and likeness." Lyric: "In the fire I saw them standing, two who looked exactly same." The Future Promise (Verse 3) In the 1842 account, Joseph isn't just told the churches are wrong; he is promised that "the fullness of the gospel" would be made known to him in the future. It wasn't just a rejection of the old, but a promise of the new. Lyric: "Wait a while and I will show you, fullness of the truth to come." The Result By combining the 1832 (Redemption), 1835 (Angels & Struggle), 1838 (The Warning), and 1842 (The Promise), the story becomes fuller. It moves from a terrifying physical battle to a moment of personal forgiveness, and finally to a prophetic calling. "Spring of Eighteen-Twenty" is my attempt to capture the whole picture and I hope it can help spread the truth of Joseph's experience and the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The song is also available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. YouTube Link: Spotify Link: Apple Music Link:

How the title "Son of Man," proves that the Pearl of Great Price is inspired scripture. After seeing this evidence, you have two choices: Either Joseph Smith was the world's best guesser, or he was a prophet of God. I invite anyone to come up with a logical explanation, otherwise.

![Elder Gilbert using the Screwtape Letters to highlight the spiritual dangers of partisan politics 👇 ***************** "Let him begin by treating the Patriotism or the Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the 'cause', in which Christianity is valued chiefly because of the excellent arguments it can produce in favour of the British war-effort or of Pacifism.

Alright, I’ve just tested Utah 2034’s logo with an academic-style research study and reported the results in the video below. Does it pass the test? Not even close... There’s still time for decision-makers to turn this around and come out as heroes. I’m happy to help.

Experience Portraying Joseph - Part 1 I’ve felt the urge to share stories from when I was young and had several opportunities to portray Joseph Smith in film productions. These experiences changed my life and shaped who I am today. Hope you enjoy this first video 😊

I often think about the time when President Eyring told the sisters that they will be “at the heart of creating that society of people who will” greet the City of Enoch and “join in glorious association with the Savior.” ********* “You sisters, your daughters, your granddaughters, and the women you have nurtured will be at the heart of creating that society of people who will join in glorious association with the Savior. You will be an essential force in the gathering of Israel and in the creation of a Zion people who will dwell in peace in the New Jerusalem.”
